Ailing Boca Community adds $73 million cancer center

Boca Raton Community Hospital, which lost more than $100 million in its last fiscal year and has its 3rd CEO in less than year, this week opens its $73 million outpatient cancer center just a block away from the main hospital.

The 98,000 square feet Harvey & Phyllis Sandler Pavilion will house the Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute and the hospital’s outpatient imaging services. Grand opening festivities are scheduled from noon to 4pm on Saturday Nov 8. The cancer institute treats more than 3,000 patients each year. While traditional cancer care requires patients to travel from physician to physician and manage their own scheduling, the institute centralizes services at their newest location, the Harvey & Phyllis Sandler Pavilion. This type of treatment, called multimodality care, brings the entire medical team to each patient in one location. Multimodality clinics, coordinated care and access to clinical research are the hallmarks of the nation’s top cancer centers. Reflective of the nearby coastal beaches for which South Florida is known, the Pavilion is designed with bright, clean accent colors and a warm neutral background palette. “Public access to the building is provided through a three-story, naturally lit main atrium,” said Marc Budaus, AIA, senior designer, HKS, Inc which designed the building. “This atrium serves as a beacon of hope uplifting the spirit of patients as they enter the building.” The atrium unifies the building and provides access to patient and family amenities such as a café, gift shop, pharmacy, family resource center and palliative care areas. It also serves as a guide – reorienting patients and their families as they progress throughout the building.
